I have a 3 piece Orvis Battenkill Seven/Four Bamboo Rod (3 3/4oz.) that I enjoy fishing occasionally in small creeks and streams near home. However, I've always been a little nervous about taking it to larger streams for fear of breaking it...it's a nice rod and I want to preserve it (it's the only bamboo rod I own). Question: what's the largest size fish that could be safely brought to net with this rod (not considering tippet size)? If I knew its maximum capability, I would know for sure which streams I could confidently use the rod. I'm not a bamboo expert and any information would be appreciated.
